Motorcyclist comes off bike after attempting high-speed wheelie stunt

Dramatic footage has emerged from the UK of a motorcyclist falling off his bike while attempting a wheelie.

The video, captured by a cyclist last month, shows the man coming off his bike at high speed and skidding down the road, before bouncing up off a curb and coming to rest.

The filmer and other passers-by can be heard expressing their disbelief at the stupidity of the daredevil.

According to the filmer, the man was 'showing off to his mates' while attempting the stunt.
